Cologne - Trajanstrasse

Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany - and one of the oldest. A Germanic tribe, the Ubii, had a settlement here, this was named by the Romans "Oppidum Ubiorum". In 50 AD, the Romans founded "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium", the city then became the provincial capital of "Germania Inferior".

The layout of the residential area south of the Ubierring was planned in the second half of the 19th century. Located opposite these stately "Gründerzeit"-buildings. probably erected between 1890 and 1910 is the "Römerpark". Such parks were thought for the recreation of the locals. The Römerpark covers more than 20.000m² and borders the Trajan- , Titus- und Trajanstrasse.
